Chapter 212 Testing the Waters
Qi Rong looked at the Crown Prince of Qin with displeasure: "What do you mean?"
Li Mingxiao shrugged, seemingly unconcerned: "Just let the two of them have a match. Qi Lao Er, what's the rush? Could it be this person?"
As he spoke, Li Mingxiao looked at Qi Rong with a mocking expression: "You, a prince, can't you have anyone you want? If you really like someone, I'll find a handsome one and send him over to you another day."
"Li! Ming! Xiao!"
The Crown Prince of Qin picked at his ear: "Why are you shouting so loudly? I'm not deaf. It's just practice. No one will die. If something happens, I'll just compensate you with another one."
Qi Rong's forehead veins throbbed: "What are you doing here causing trouble?"
Seeing that the two were about to start arguing, Lin Changning interrupted them directly: "Commander, I can do it."
Qi Rong glanced at Lin Changning, and his anger gradually subsided a little.
Li Mingxiao isn't a bad person, he just has a lot of trouble. He likes to compete with me all the time and is always looking for trouble.
Lin Changning glanced at Li Mingxiao, his mouth respectful but his eyes provocative: "I have heard that the Prince's father, the Prince of Qin, is extremely skilled in martial arts, able to take on a hundred men single-handedly. I have long admired him. Since the Prince is the son of the Prince of Qin, his skills must be formidable. I wonder if I would have the honor of sparring with the Prince after I have defeated his men?"
Li Mingxiao pointed to himself in disbelief: "You mean you still want to spar with me?"
Lin Changning's eyes remained defiant: "Yes, I have long admired the Prince of Qin and the Crown Prince, and I would like to personally experience the Crown Prince's martial arts skills."
Li Mingxiao scoffed, "Of course, but let's beat Shilin first."
Seeing that someone had set a trap, Lin Changning smiled, cupped his hands in greeting, and turned to leave the tent.
Qi Rong glanced at Li Mingxiao indifferently, feeling helpless. He had heard of Shi Lin, one of Li Mingxiao's subordinates, before. He had heard that Shi Lin's fist technique was superb. However, when it comes to sparring and fighting, fist technique alone is not enough.
If this stone forest makes even one mistake, Xiao Liu can beat someone half to death.
Xiao Liu had many chances to make a mistake, but Shi Lin only had one chance.
Xiao Liu possessed such immense strength that a single punch could cripple a robust man.
Thinking of this, he stopped trying to stop him. He glanced at Li Mingxiao lightly and then reached out his hand: "Let's go, young master, let's go out and see."
Li Mingxiao felt a little bored; Qi Rong was becoming less and less fun.
He's become increasingly composed in recent years, and it's not easy to provoke him anymore.
After they finished, the two walked out the door side by side. Li Mingxiao had come here intentionally to probe their situation.
Qi Lao Er seized Datong City and command, and they wouldn't believe it if the King of Chu hadn't given him instructions.
His father said that his Ninth Uncle was no ordinary man, and the imperial court was now openly targeting several vassal kings. Naturally, his family could not sit idly by and wait for their doom, so it was a good idea for them to come and investigate.
In addition, he had lived in the Chu King's mansion for a period of time when he was a child, and his past friendships made it easier to find out some things.
Lin Changning, standing outside the door, stared at the tall, imposing man opposite her, who was like an iron tower. The man's narrow eyes were fixed on her.
After observing him, Lin Changning found that this person had a very stable foundation, definitely a trained fighter, and his muscles were very solid, so his strength must be much better than that of ordinary people.
Compared to Lin Changning's caution, Shi Lin was rather impatient, and in less than two minutes, he threw a punch in a hurry.
Lin Changning shifted his feet, easily dodging Shi Lin's punches one after another.
Although Lin Changning was slender, he was much more agile than Shi Lin, who was much larger.
After easily dodging Shi Lin's fist, which whistled through the air, Lin Changning did not retaliate.
But after a moment, Shi Lin became a little anxious: "If you're so capable, fight me! Are you even a man if you keep cowering like this?"
Lin Changning shrugged: "Isn't that obvious? If I don't dodge, am I just going to wait to be hit by you? If you're so capable, stand there and don't move and let me hit you."
Shi Lin looked at Lin Changning's nonchalant expression and said angrily, "What kind of hero just hides?"
Lin Changning shrugged again: "I'm afraid I'll cripple you with one punch."
Shi Lin scoffed, "You think you can cripple me with your small frame? I can take ten punches from you while I'm standing still."
Lin Changning's eyes lit up: "You said it yourself, so stand here and don't move."
Shi Lin choked up. He was just saying it casually. Who would stand there and let someone beat them up for nothing?
But having been carried up there, he turned to look at his young master's expression, then hesitated before glancing at Lin Changning's physique.
Then he puffed out his chest muscles, stood up straight, and said, "I said I'd let you have your way, so I'm standing right here. If you try to hit me, I'm not a hero if I even blink."
After finishing, he stood there blankly, feeling a little uneasy, but when he looked at Lin Changning's figure, he couldn't help but straighten his chest.
The Crown Prince of Qin glanced sideways at Qi Rong: "Look at you, you're not any good either. My Shi Lin has to give you a hand."
Qi Rong didn't speak, but gave the Prince of Qin a faint smile.
This laugh sent chills down the spine of the Prince of Qin. Every time Qi Lao Er laughed like that, someone would suffer.
Before the Prince of Qin could warn Shi Lin, Lin Changning had already thrown a punch.
"This! Is! What! You! Said! It! Is! You! !"
A punch, accompanied by a whooshing sound, swiftly slammed towards Shi Lin's chest. Shi Lin wasn't stupid; his body's instincts kicked in, and he dodged Lin Changning's punch by sidestepping.
"!!!!"
As the fist grazed past his body, Shi Lin narrowly dodged it, a cold sweat instantly breaking out on his forehead.
Such a fast punch, and it even creates a gust of wind, this kid is no ordinary person.
Lin Changning did not retract his fist, and continued to throw punches at Shi Lin one after another.
Shi Lin hurriedly raised his hand to resist, and finally realized how arrogant he had been.
After blocking Lin Changning's punch with both fists, Shi Lin was slammed into the ground like a cannonball.
With a muffled thud, a cloud of dust rose, causing the Prince of Qin to cough violently.
Shi Lin, who had been slammed to the ground, felt a sharp pain in his arms. He quickly got up and looked at Lin Changning with a serious expression.
"I made a big mistake just now, let's try again!"
Lin Changning felt a little regretful, clicked his tongue twice, and then began to take it seriously.
Seeing that Shi Lin was much more vigilant this time, Lin Changning switched from defense to offense, throwing punch after punch at Shi Lin. However, Shi Lin did have some skills.
Although it was difficult to resist, he managed to catch every punch from Lin Changning.
Occasionally, he could retaliate with a punch or two, but when he saw Shi Lin suddenly throw a punch at his chest, alarm bells went off in Lin Changning's mind. Almost instinctively, he intercepted Shi Lin's fist and then delivered a powerful back throw.
Another cloud of dust rose from the ground, and this time, a muffled groan came from the stone forest.
